I have noticed that the number of my friends did not increase, it's still 205, although I have added 6 new friends. In fact, they are showing in my newly added friends. But everytime I tried to open their profile, it's still showing as "Private Profile", and seems to be that they were not added to my friends at all. I noticed this problem since about 5 days ago...
Furthermore, whne I tried deleting 3 friends (my test accounts), the number is still 205!

Any comments, suggestions and assistance on this regard is truly appreciated.
